Club heads, we bring you good news. One of Time Out’s favourite little basement venues, The Glove That Fits, has had a major renovation. And even better news is that it’s been granted a brand new late licence too.
Hackney nightclub The Glove That Fits (TGTF) has been given a permanent late licence, allowing the venue to open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays and 2am on Thursdays. Previously the club had to close at 1am on most weekends, with only an occasional late licence granted. The early closures significantly limited the venue’s programming in an already challenging landscape for independent music venues. The licence was granted by Hackney Council following a formal application from TGTF.
Now eight years old, the venue has also undergone its first renovation since opening in 2018, which includes a newly rebuilt DJ booth, new room layout, upgraded DJ equipment and a new lighting rig, all while keeping the club’s signature red lighting and basement feel.
Founder Seb Glover said: ‘Its an exciting and important step in the life of our little venue. In an increasingly challenging environment to operate in, this extension allows us to further support the artists, creators and creative ecosystem that we love and that makes the UK such a unique and rich place to be.’
